Funny but 400 posts with #TrumpIsACoward and 16500 with #Trump2024 . It really just shows how unpopular truth social is more than anything.

He is indeed a coward. He is also far too old.

[-] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 96 points 3 months ago

And apparently he smells weird too

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 114 points 3 months ago
[-] watersnipje 59 points 3 months ago

When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled

[-] Jeanschyso@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

That reads like a Terry Pratchett joke

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

Was that a swallow flying over their head?

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

The brave Sir Robin!

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

And there was much rejoicing. Yay!

[-] Xatolos@reddthat.com 5 points 3 months ago

A strategic full speed ahead in the opposite direction

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 months ago

First out-loud laugh of the day. Truly, this was awesome. Cheers!

[-] Qwaffle_waffle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Strategic retreat.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 111 points 3 months ago

He ran away from a debate and tried to start a new one. What a wimp.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 3 months ago

What a ~~wimp~~.

What a baby!

he clearly hates being called a baby so we should use that more often ;)

[-] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

He has baby hands. They really look ridiculous. I'm not one to make fun of physical appearance but trump is a white supremacist piece of shit weirdo.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 months ago

It's hard to find anything wrong with what you said.

[-] ChaoticCookie@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

What a weirdo

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Whatta weird loser

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 78 points 3 months ago

I sense ketchup splattered walls and a wildly swinging ban-hammer in the near future.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I'll be happy when that "man" can't afford ketchup at all.

[-] Acemod@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I'll settle for him having to clean it up himself.

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 68 points 3 months ago

Trump must be calling Elon to check what to do

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 43 points 3 months ago

"Flush Truth down the Xitter"

[-] paf0@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago

They both call Peter Thiel

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Yeah but his only advice is to harvest the blood of your children to prevent aging.

Stock market advice? Invest in blood transfusions

Dating advice? Blood transfusions make you look young and sexy

High cholesterol? More blood

Low potassium? More blood

Too much blood? Weirdly enough, also blood transfusion.

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago

Maybe the billionaires are finally figuring out that having the Dynamite Monkey for president is bad for business.

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Simple, ban the Trump counter protesters from the platform under some fake sweeping guise like "breaking community guidelines".

[-] vxx@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He probably would if his Media company wouldn't be in free fall. I believe he's happy for every user that pushes the active user number above 20000, even if it means getting memed on his own platform.

[-] Chessmasterrex@lemmy.world 54 points 3 months ago

He doesn't want to get fact checked.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 48 points 3 months ago

He couldn't care less about that, he doesn't want to look weak getting manhandled by a woman because then his bullshit strongman thing dissolves.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 51 points 3 months ago

FTFY: ~~Truth~~ Weird Social

[-] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

Always has been.

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 49 points 3 months ago

So, is it trolls or are his followers starting to drop?

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 53 points 3 months ago

Most of the internet's organized troll groups are already the ones pushing right wing narratives (even when those right wing narratives come with a thin coat of red paint.) Truth social is definitely infested with trolls, but they are the kind trying to get Trump elected. A mutiny on his own platform would almost certainly have to be organic.

[-] joenforcer@midwest.social 12 points 3 months ago

There's a difference?

[-] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 7 points 3 months ago

Maybe trolls. In the article there is a picture of trending phrases, all of which have 1000s of posts except for Trump is a coward, which has less than 500, but I assume they were all made within a short time span so that's how they made the trending list

[-] Freefall@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It's his NPCs search for any post correctly calling him a coward, so they can attack the person.

[-] Minarble@aussie.zone 41 points 3 months ago

Trump is a scaredy cat man

[-] Blubber28@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

And very weird too!

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 20 points 3 months ago

Are we sure they aren’t just responding to the hashtag from Twitter? I don’t plan to check but just a thought…

[-] Ilandar@aussie.zone 21 points 3 months ago

Yeah, it's pretty obviously not what it sounds like. This would be a pretty big headline if the story behind it was true but no other media outlet has reported it except Raw Story, which is considered to have a Strong Left bias. If I were to guess I would say the hashtag is being used to mock progressives now that the Harris campaign is being reported by right-leaning media as having "declined" the Fox debate.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
